    Received a new catalogue from Hayloft today ; two 'new' Agapanthus may be worth a try .
    A.inapertus subsp.'Pendulus Black Magic' & Agapanthus 'Twister' .
    I'm not normally a fan of these 'modern' plants , preferring the old 'evergreen' A.africanus , but they do look interesting .

      Trouble is they will be tiny plants in 9cm pots PaulB3. Not much of an advance on bare roots, if any!
      Check out Paddocks Plants for their agapanthus and compare prices :). £5 or so for named varieties in 2 litre pots....:noidea:

        You're right about the size of Haylofts plants ; they're normally good quality , just too small !!
